"Black" (2005) Movie Review : 

                            The leaders of the movie screening committee at the Department of English, MKBU, proposed a unique initiative to screen a series of films focused on disability themes. In this blog post, I will review the movie "Black" (2005), which delves into the intricate dynamics between students and teachers.

      Disability studies examines the impact of society, culture, politics, and economics on the experience of disability. Emerging from the activism of disabled individuals in the 1970s, it challenges the medical perspective that views disability as a problem needing a cure. Instead, it highlights societal barriers and discrimination. Analyzing literature through the lens of disability studies allows us to discern whether narratives perpetuate stereotypes or depict disabled characters with depth and humanity. This approach enhances our understanding of disability and advocates for the rights and inclusion of disabled people in society.

"Black," directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, follows the story of Michelle McNally (Rani Mukerji), a deaf-blind girl, and her relationship with her teacher, Debraj Sahai (Amitabh Bachchan). Michelle's world is one of darkness and silence until Debraj, an unconventional teacher, enters her life. Through perseverance and innovative teaching methods, Debraj helps Michelle learn to communicate and achieve academic success. Their relationship evolves from student-teacher to a deep bond of mutual support, especially as Debraj begins to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

"Black" delves into several profound themes. It explores the transformative power of the teacher-student relationship, showcasing how education can profoundly change lives. The film highlights the challenges and triumphs of overcoming disability, emphasizing resilience and determination in the face of adversity. It also underscores the importance of human connection and empathy, illustrating how understanding and compassion bridge differences. Additionally, "Black" touches on themes of loss and acceptance, particularly through Debraj's struggle with Alzheimer's and Michelle's role as his caregiver. These themes collectively offer a powerful portrayal of the human spirit's capacity for growth and connection.
